Darrell Ainscough climbs Everest!


Craig Ainscough (carguy_510@hotmail.com) from Vancouver has brought the following to my attention....good luck Darrell!
"Dear Barbara, an Ainscough is in the process of climbing Mount Everest. His name is Darrell. His father and my father were cousins. Although he lives in this area Ive never met him, infact I didnt know anything about him until I saw a photo in the newspaper."

A 10-year North Shore Canada Post worker is on his way to the top of Mount Everest, armed with the signatures of dozens of supporters of Sage Transition House.
Darrell Ainscough, a 54-year-old letter carrier at the Capilano Delivery Centre, has climbed six of the seven highest summits in the world. Everest is the only one he's left to conquer.
"It takes you to different parts of the world so it's a focus for your travel. Once you've done the climb you can kind of relax and explore the culture in area the around the climb," he said.
